New insights in amino sugar metabolism by the gut microbiome.
Review in Gut microbes, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Gut microorganisms inhabiting the intestinal tract play key roles in host's health and disease. A properly functioning gut microbiome requires the availability of adequate carbon, nitrogen and energy sources. One of the main sources of energy for intestinal bacteria are glycans, of which amino sugars are important components. Amino sugars are a class of carbohydrates in which one or more hydroxyl groups are substituted with amino groups. However, bacterial utilization of amino sugars and their impact on the gut microbiome and host health have not been thoroughly assessed. In this review, we summarize the latest discoveries about amino sugar metabolism by gut microbes, paying particular attention to the metabolism of N-acetyl-galactosamine (GalNAc), one of the most abundant amino sugars in the intestine, and its potential implications for microbial functionality and host health.
